Overview

A walk from Ross heading southwest over Chase Hill, Howle Hill, Bull's Hill, Leys Hill to meet the Wye at Kerne Bridge. We return on a lower route through Coughton, and finish the day with tea and scones in a garden setting.

The route includes six ascents of varying heights, therefore this walk is probably at the upper end of the moderate grade.

Because there is catering involved, booking is rather important for this walk. Please book by the 1st of July. Non walkers are also invited to join us at 3pm. There is also a shorter walk starting at 1 pm which meets up for the tea and scones at 3.
